Hi ppl,

Can someone help me to a copy of Cinema Craft Encoder Pro?

I have Discreet Cleaner and Canupus Procoder but I keep hearing stories that CCE is 'King of the Hill' when quality is concerned.

Thanks and Greetz,

Harry

Procoder wins completely concerning quality issues.
But it is slow as hell.

CCE is lightning fast and gives very good quality mpeg2.
Download the newest demo 2.64.01.10 here:

or if you need CCE 2.50 sp go to Doom9 download site ...

Those are only demo versions who put a logo into the stream - but you can fully test them.

I wouldn"t say that at all ,Iv"e been useing Procoder for over 2 months now and though it is a good encoder I don"t think it is as good as CCE SP, and I have explored all the options used it as a Plugin ,encoded Real media to mpeg and Wmv to mpeg and comverted Pal to Ntsc and with all these features and more it is a super handy tool which Which I"very glad i own but when it comes to straight AVI to Mpeg2 encodeing I Think CCE"s Quality is still a Touch Better, and with the speed differance that Pushes over the top for me, I can encode Uncompressed AVI files at 150 Frames per second...I can"t wait till the CCE 2.66 comes out in a few months, It is supposed to have all the features that it lacked in all previous versions which much better controll over the encodeing perameters....If you want a copy of CCE you can find them on Kazaa.....

Luis is right.

After first tests out of the box I thought that ProCoder would make all other encoders obsolete. However, some further testing, with hand held DV source, shows that CCE is better and faster for my projects (hand held PAL DV -> Premiere -> SVCD).

Luis, what settings do you use for CCE? I use standard SVCD template now, but would like to improve on the "mosquito" artefacts and high motion parts.

I may be wrong, but it has been my experience that you can't eliminate the fast motion artifacts if you use CCE. Rich wrote an article once companing an ATI and Dazzle DVC II capture of the same TV show. The DVC II sometimes has similar artifacts in high motion. Basically, the sharper image causes these artifacts in high motion and it's the price you pay. You can reduce the artifacts quite a bit with encoders like TMPGenc which don't produce quite as sharp an image. If you find out anything that works, let us know. I've played with the settings in CCE quite a bit trying to elimate this and nothing I did worked for me, but maybe you'll have better luck.

I usually encode DVD rips to SVCD with CCE SP,2.64,I liad the D2V files from DVD2AVI into Tmpgenc and do the resizeing and any color settings or basicly any setting in Tmpgenc can be used to frame serve to CCE, then I make a TPR project file with Tmpgenc and then load the project file into the Vfapi Converter and make a Psudo AVI file and load that into CCE, I usually do a "ONE Pass-VBR" with the minimum bitrate at 1000kbs and maxmum at 7500kbs with the "Q" Factor at "40", no noise filter and useing the "Ultra Low Bitrate" Matrix..With these settings I get pretty Good SVCD"s...

Really? Is it available from any public places?

By the way, thanks for good article about matrix theory. I do not know German but online translator makes it more or less readable. Once I've read Japan article in such a way.

Best regards.

0.3.8 should be these days on cdrsoft.cc also (you have your 0.3.4 from there with filemirrors searching ).
I gave it to N.B. (admin) a while ago and he wanted to put it up.

Meanwhile get 0.3.7 here:

Versions above 0.3.5 are only useful for cce 2.66 sp beta owners (which are only a handful ...)

If the site isn't known already:

I made it three or four months ago
